Re: Securing PHP code

The INI file should be: [mysql_info] host=spore.org uid=myuserid passwd=mypassword Also, you'll probably want to do: $INI = parse_ini_file("/home/revref/mysql.ini"); Doug Essinger-Hileman wrote:

I am just beginning to use php and mysql together (I'm new to both). I am having trouble getting this to work in what I think is a very simple test. I have created mysql.ini, and put it outside the docroot: /myhome/mysql.ini. This file, in its entirety, is: [mysql_info} host=spore.org uid=myuserid passwd=mypassword Then I created a webpage with nothing more than the following: <?php parse_ini_file("/home/revref/mysql.ini"); echo $INI; ?> When I point my browser to that page, I am getting the following error message: Warning: Error parsing /home/revref/mysql.ini on line 4 in Unknown on line 0 Help is greatly needed.
